Of course is up to you whether to upgrade or not, but you're still fine with that chip. I have an overclocked i5 3570k and I still don't find the need to upgrade.I think processors have been developing rather slowly, for the past few years Intel has had no real competition, but thankfully AMD is back on the game (and this comes from an Intel enthusiast). Maybe on the next couple of years we will see real improvement (I have some hope for INTEL's 10nm process and for next gen AMD processors), but until then I'm sticking with my current processor.

Your CPU is fine. Performance wise they are almost identical, with possibly your CPU having a slight edge in heavily threaded scenario's.The performance difference at the same clock between Sandy/Ivy/Haswell is pretty insignificant all things considered, especially if you pair up Sandy/Ivy with good Ram.

The biggest increase in performance since the second gen Core ix series was with Coffee Lake... And ONLY because Intel upped the core counts finally.Pair up any Sandy-Bridge or newer chip with super fast Ram and they are still competitive.
